Joseph Sommers' dream with the little girl in the white dress and the teddy bear with the bleeding eyeball in Robert Benton's Still Of The Night: that scene freaked me and it still does.

I used to say I live my life a quarter mile at a time and I think that's why we were brothers- because you did, too. No matter where you are, whether it's a quarter mile away or half way across the world. The most important thing in life will always be the people in this room. Salute mi familia. You'll always be with me... And you'll always be my brother.

I love this now. In fact, when I'm about to subject people to something unpleasant, I like to say, "You're going to love this. Just love it."

But, man, what a weird unpleasant scene to put in a kid's movie. It's canon now, so we forgive it, but you need to remember it is several minutes of disturbing s**t put right into the middle of an otherwise pleasant narrative. There is no other reason for this scene to exist other than to scare the s**t out of unsuspecting children.

Well, played, Willy Wonka. Well played.

Every dead body that is not exterminated becomes one of them. It gets up and kills. The people it kills, get up and kill.

There's one in "Toy Story" that made me cringe the first time. When Buzz and Woody are in Sid's room and that baby head attatched to some creepy erector set legs rises up in that dark room.....rather bizarre for a Disney kids movie.

Weird, I was thinking of that EXACT same scene. I thought that was fairly dark for a Disney movie as well
